In April 2015, Constable Kudo Park responded to a call about a man walking down King Street East, swinging a knife and walking a dog. When he came upon the scene, he found Thomas Schonberger already handcuffed and approached to offer assistance.

That's when Schonberger spit in Park's mouth without warning or provocation and Park responded with "one quick jab," followed by two more punches after Schonberger was taken to the ground.
